Hamburger SV is one of the largest clubs in Germany. In the New sticker on T-Online you will find all the important messages about the “red pants”.
Already in the past transfer summer, Jonas Meffert was a topic at Schalke 04. But the 31-year-old stayed in Hamburg-where he currently only stays on the bench. In the Bundesliga, the defensive midfielder has so far only been substituted against Borussia Mönchengladbach for a few minutes.
In the summer of 2026, Meffte’s contract ends in Hamburg-and according to the “WAZ” information, the 31-year-old is still “exciting” for Schalke 04. At the second division club, he could compete with regular player Ron Schallenberg (26).
The former HSV striker Fiete ARP can imagine a return to the Bundesliga club. The 25-year-old, who is currently playing in Denmark, said in an interview with the “Abendblatt”.
“Of course, the HSV would always be an association, but that’s not the moment for it. If I really manage to take the next step and also become interesting for such a club like the HSV, it will always be an issue, at least in mind,” said Arp.
Born in Bad Segeberger, Holstein Kiel moved to the Danish first division club Odense BK in summer. There he already scored five goals and two goals in six first division games. At Odense, Arp works under the former Fürth coach Alexander Zorniger.
On his motivations for moving abroad, ARP said: “I wanted to get out of Germany.” He searched for options worldwide. “Odense was one of the first options that became concrete,” he added. “It was clear that the story with my name was never different as long as I am in Germany. Unless I suddenly scored a goal in every game.”
From 2017, ARP played 38 games (four goals, two templates) for the HSV in the 1st division, 2nd league and in the DFB Cup. In 2019 he moved to Bayern Munich, but the struggle did not make the breakthrough there.
The women of Hamburger SV started the Bundesliga with a spectacular draw against record champions VfL Wolfsburg. The climber fought a 3: 3 (1: 2) viewers in the Volksparkstadion in front of 11,934 spectators – thanks to a late hit in injury time.
Christin Meyer made the much acclaimed compensation in the 95th minute. Previously, the newcomers Sophie Hillebrand (31st) and Melanie Brunnthaler (81st) met for HSV. Lineth Beerensteyn (27th), Janina Minge (29th/Elfmeter) and Alexandra Popp (52nd) were successful for Wolfsburg.
